The Jets appear to be moving on from Rodgers the chatter the last 24 hours suggest looking like a post june 1st release for Aaron.

How about this for a wild but very interesting situation this year.....VIKINGS.....following in Farve's total footsteps post GRB.

Darnold is likely gone in FA while he played great until the last 2 games but played way above his head before that + JJ McCarthy has not played a down yet although he was having a great camp before his leg injury + a year to learn which is also hugely helpful but could sit behind Rodgers for another year maybe even 2 depending on Rodgers in 2025.

Rodgers got healthy towards the end of the year + will have perfect health in 2025 surrounded by that rec. corps + likely his Buddy Aaron Jones who is a FA at 30 but would likely take a discount to play with Aaron + stay put giving Rodgers something he rarely had in 2024 namely a running game to help him.

I know there are other teams more in need of a QB bridge for a year or 2 but the excitement around the Vikings with Aaron there would be quite the off season story in the NFL .

Now i was as disappointed in Aaron's play as anyone as i played the jets in the LV contests about 12 weeks this year + had nice money on them to win the SB at 22-1 so my like/love level for Aaron took a big hit this year but Rodgers did not play horrible despite the Jets record as he finished around middle of the pack or slightly better in most passing but notably really sucked in the moments the Jets needed him the most late in the game when they needed a score. Something he thrived on his whole career.

Rodgers has been going downhill since his Last Year in GRB + his NY ex. was not great to say the least but can he do it for 1 more year like Farve did in 2009 with the Vikings where they were 1 stupid Farve pass away from beating the Saints + facing the Colts in the SB or will his age, past injuries + his lack of clutch play catch up to him?

Hey we are a few days removed from the SB + we have a lot of time to float things around so i am floating.

I didn't watch that Woke garbage but is this TRUE??? Did he sing this song with these lyrics in the SB????

welcome to the Woke Nfl

DEI....i am sure Trump is happy LOL.

No dif. then the refs....2 dif. scales of rating system season long to make sure diversity is there for the Zebra's in the playoffs + SB.

Welcome to the Woke NFL.

Speaking of Woke where is that ******* i cannot say it but DOUBLEUPFORLIFE gem of a guy?

Not that i am complaining as this forum is so much calmer without him but just wondering as i have not seen him for at least 2 years now.

the 2 biggest plays of that game with hon. mention to that hail mary drop by dalton was the fumble by pat on 2nd and 2 on the buf 22 late in the 2nd q. which buf turned into a td a few min. later for 10-14 point turnaround + the stop early in the 4th q. on 4th and half yard at the kc 40.5 yard line which kc turned into 8 points a few min later for another likely 10-15 point turnaround

i saw that also but that started before that last 1st down to seal it....i am glad the 1st down was made but if the chiefs def. had to go back on the field if that was not made i wonder how ready he might of been....knowing him no problem i say but the tears did start way too early there

what a dec. on 4th and 5 there he says....he caught himself 2 seconds later but to even say or even think that was so moronic

1 mill i think

All KC does is win in the playoffs...no pressure just go out + win. Just like the Pats recently or maybe the 70's steelers this team is just so relaxed when playing a playoff game + most important ultra confident that they will win + they almost never lose so why not.

Great play

Nice pick.

They actually can rush the passer but mostly from the outside where the Chargers are as solid as any team in the league at tackles with Slater + Alt. but watch Herbert carve up the Texans D. in the middle of the field staying away from outside throws mostly where the Texans are great defending but poor defending in the middle along with the incred. dif. the chargers have running the ball with dobbins vs all other charger Rb's

It is set up for a big Chargers win but this is the NFL

Chargers pick is solid almost too good to be true at -2.5 to -3 but i am with you.

In all my years of watching NFL i do not think i have ever seen a situation quite the same as this game. The count in all the major NFL media sites of picking this game S/U + ATS also are around 10-1 or more on the chargers. Now i know these guys + most of us for that matter are kiss your sister handicappers with lines less then 3 points picking the game S/U but with 90+% picking 1 side is pretty much unheard of. I don't even think the 9.5-10 point favored Ravens could get 90+% S/U picking them or BUF either.

It truly is 1 of those games that is too good to be true but i have fallin for it.  I had a horrible reg. season in the contests (CIRCA + Westgate) after cashing last year so i am not 1 at this time to offer a great opinion but hopefully a much better HC like East Side picking the chargers makes me feel i am not falling into a situation i have so many times in the past + have suffered for.

Kiss of death prediction

Chargers 34

Texans 13

Well i am not playing the game but just a few weeks ago Pit. handled Cinny pretty easy in Cinny although my 1st thoughts were still Cin. i can not trust them vs Pit. even though Pit. has not played well since then.

Good game to watch + maybe play a 4th Q. in game bet after seeing how its all playing out but GL with PIT.

Vikes have hugely overachieved this year + DET was pretty much destined to get the #1 seed early after SF woes so i see things playing out as expected when the reg. season ends sunday night.

The Lions on Off. at home in the dome are like an arena team Off......Opp. Def. are lucky to get 2-3 stops a game vs the Lions Off. + 1 of those is a Dan Campbell dumb 4th down dec. although he gets more then his share correct also.

LIONS 41

MIN 30 

Oh ya they are done like dinner if Goff gets hurt although that can be said of every playoff team having #1 go down. Also going on the Road in Jan. to win 3 games is a very heavy lift also. Sunday night is monumental for both teams. No scenario in the NFL motivates players + coaches alike then a Bye + the implications surrounding that. For both teams it will be no prisoners taken trying to achieve that gem of a situation

Franchise Tag around 40 mil. will likely be the result as they kick the can to 2026 but as i stated earlier the season is not over yet which will affect the dec. at least somewhat as how Sam finishes.

Yes fair Q. well DET. will most likely lose. A Def. will have to have a night something like the texans D. had ag. Goff with 5 int. (DET. won anyway) or slow down their O. like BUF did a few weeks ago early in the game while scoring a bunch of points themselves then hang on as DET. scores a Blizzard of points late only to fall short. I think the best way to slow down their scoring is red zone D. Unfort. the teams that usually have great Off. red zone success are teams who run the ball well + don't have to throw much in that constricted area + the Lions are perfect for that type of play along with it being 4 down territory mostly which yes can at times can bite Campbell in the rear. Make the Lions go 2-5 something like that + only allow them 1 longer TD so red zone is not involved. Hey this team is not unbeatable + if their Off. has an off day they likely will get beat but the problem with that is even if they have an off day for part of the game they can still storm back like an arena league team + still put up 40 om pts. like they did vs Buf. Slow ball control like a bunch of 6 7 8 min. drives vs that lion D. to keep their Off. off the field along with good red zone Def. + a few breaks like tipped balls, fumble recoveries ect. + some bad Campbell 4th down dec. + Def. stops at that critical moment are a good recipe to beat Det. but easier said then done.

C70 with all due respect yes Dallas was a very good O. in 23 but not to the caliber of the Lions esp. at RB. This O is nearly unstoppable as they rarely punt. Yes Dallas was good on O. but not nearly this good like the generationally good the Lions are Esp. as they know they have to be like that considering their D. shortcomings. One almost gets the feeling when they score in the high 30's or into the 40's they are capable of a whole lot more which is insane as the only other O. or 2 i can think of that was like that was the Rams for a few years 99+ + Peyton Mannings Colts in the Mid 2000's.
